Very disappointed in our stay here. We stayed a few years back and had heard the location was great for windsurfing and kitesurfing (which it is!). There was also a little restaurant where we could have a late afternoon drink and the staff were great. Don't expect any of that! No restaurant or bar and no facilities other than the... More

It has been a couple of years since we stayed at the Golden Sands Resort; the place looks quite fresh, Roy our manager was great to deal with and the stay was very pleasant indeed. The exterior has had a spruce up; the two units I have been staying in had fresh tiles and the tired furniture has been updated;... More

I booked a room at the Golden Sands Beachfront Resort through HotelClub.com in January 2011 for the weekend of the Cairns Challenge triathlon race (5 months ahead of the race).

We stayed at the Golden Sands for 7 nights in january 2011. The whole experience was wonderful. The owner (Roy) and staff were very helpful in every way. The accomodation was of a good standard. The pool and gardens, outstanding. The Waterdragon restaurant offers haute cuisine. We highly reccomend staying here. More

The sign on the front says "Holiday Apartments" rather than "Beachfront Resort" which I think is a more accurate description. To me, "resort" implies luxury and facilities that these apartments don't have. As others have said, the... More

All of the operators have been excellent and made improves during there era. The present operators Roy, Adam & Tanaya are excellent! We found found them extremely accomodating and... More

We couldn't have asked for better. My cousin and I were to share a unit however upon our arrival another apartment was available so we were given one each at no extra cost. We dined at the resort Restaurant and enjoyed the beautifully prepared meals. The owners, Adam, Tanya and Roy were very helpful with advice and answers to our... More
